A Mother’s Love

 A Mother’s Love

 

I was a child of promise but ain’t we all

Had a mind of mine own even when small

Seventeen stretching my wings for the sky

When you’re young you’re never gonna die

 

A mother’s love is forever

I’ll wait till the fifth of never

You don’t need to be clever

A mother’s love is forever

 

Started running with the crowd we were cool

Momma tried of course she was just a fool

Smoking cigarettes whistling at the boys

Every Saturday night gonna make some noise

 

A mother’s love is forever

I’ll wait till the fifth of never

You don’t need to be clever

A mother’s love is forever

 

Somewhere lost between heaven and hell

Took a wrong turn and nothing was well

All my friends played the disappearing act

I had my pride but I wanted to come back

 

A mother’s love is forever

I’ll wait till the fifth of never

You don’t need to be clever

A mother’s love is forever

 

The prodigal daughter fresh meat headed for the slaughter

Despised I was baptized in the devil’s dirty water

Butt of the joke busted and broke walking far behind

Somewhere in my mind I said momma’s always been kind

 

I said Momma dear I’m sorry for sure

Momma said what you standing there for

Come inside let me make you some hot tea

You’ll always be a precious little girl to me

 

A mother’s love is forever

I’ll wait till the fifth of never

You don’t need to be clever

A mother’s love is forever

He Laid it Down

He Laid it Down

 

Well if you take a good look

You’ll see a shining light

It’s written in the good book

About a King gentle and contrite

Well he had enormous power

He coulda done as He please

But it was His finest hour

To be crucified on a tree

 

He laid it down

So others could live

And now I’ve found

I’ve got the will to give

Cause he laid it down

 

Oh yes I got the will to go out

To speak the truth and defeat doubt

I shall clothe the naked and feed the poor

I’ll serve in no army I’ll fight no war

And in times of sorrow I shall not frown

Cause He laid it down He laid it down

 

He laid it down

So others could live

And now I’ve found

I’ve got the will to give

Cause he laid it down

 

With wonderful words he did speak

To love your enemy and turn the cheek

He was tempted but never did sin

He died but death could not hold him

Jesus sits in heaven with a glorious crown

Cause he laid it down he laid it down

 

He laid it down

So others could live

And now I’ve found

I’ve got the will to give

Cause he laid it down

 

Well in this world I often suffer defeat

But by God’s grace my hope is complete

It is true I cannot pay salvation’s price

That was done with Jesus’ great sacrifice

Oh yes I’m clean and heaven bound

Cause he laid it down He laid it down

 

He laid it down

So others could live

And now I’ve found

I’ve got the will to give

Cause he laid it down

Military Industrial Complex

Military Industrial Complex

 

Every weapon

Is a dream forsaken

A piece of bread

Taken

From the mouth of the poor

Such is the horror

Of war

The factories work day and night

Weapons, uniforms, food, for those who fight

They are generously paid

For the goods that are made

See wicked men gray and old

Coveting coffers full of gold

Hear the tale they tell

Making Eden hell

All is not well

Nor shall things be

Until we are free

Of organized hate

We have no time to wait

The ship is sinking in the stormy sea

We must be free

In the depths of my heart there is a hole

I feel it vex

My soul

The Military Industrial Complex

Satan’s soldiers with suit and tie

Manipulating the nation with lie after lie

Hear the perishing baby

Give its final cry

Why?

For profits

For profit they die

Marlene

Marlene

 

Hey Marlene heaven is no longer a dream

And the journey ain’t what it seems

The old rugged cross lies at your feet

The struggle now sensationally sweet

Gone are the turmoil, pains, and strife

In the Promised Land

You come to understand

The true meaning of life

Not a worry, not a hurry, not a care

You can personally deliver every prayer

Forever seventeen

In a place where numbers mean

Nothing

Infinite days to give God praise

Infinite hours to enjoy the reward

Reclining, laughing at the table of the Lord

Your cup overflowing

Intimately knowing the bliss of righteousness

Infinite seconds to simply enjoy

A perfect peace none can destroy

 

Walk around the streets of gold

See wonders too marvelous to behold

Take your beloved Eddie by the hand

Slow dance to the music of the angel band

Life itself is at your command

 

In heaven there is love at every bend

In heaven there are no strangers

In heaven there are no dangers

In heaven everyone is a friend

In heaven you are never alone

And God is the Light upon the throne

Heaven is an eternal joy which none can destroy

In heaven we are free

Heaven is beyond eternity

A place of grace where all the Faithful will be

So long and take care

We hope to see you there

There Are Many Herods

There Are Many Herods

 

There are many Herods

Yes indeed

There are many Herods

Poisoned with greed

They are an envious lot

Best to be forgot

Longing for the sky

Coveting God’s throne on high

From the stars

Dealing scars

See the children die

The moan of the drone

Flesh burned off the bone

A smell of hell

Nothing is well

These many Herods

They are not near

To hear the desperate cry

These many Herods

Living a lie

They have no fear

As they are a world away

They dance and play

And curse with scorn

As the world does mourn

But yet in each generation

A baby is born

A champion of salvation

Inwardly torn

Dancing the reds

Singing the blues

Saying what needs to be said

Preaching good news

There are many Herods

History tells of them all

There are many Herods

But they all shall fall

Beaten down by the rod

Of the  Son of God

Chaplain Harry’s Regret

 Chaplain Harry’s Regret

Harry Emerson Fosdick as a young man was an officer in the United States Army during World War I. In his capacity as chaplain he would pray with the soldiers who would attack the German machine gun nest. The majority of the soldiers would never return alive. In later life the preacher regretted this part of his past.

 

What I’d done I’d rather not say

We would gather

In the morn to start the day

How could a word to the Creator be ill?

I prayed for blessings to kill

I prayed for blessings to kill!

I prayed for blessings to kill

 

I would look the boys in their eyes

And fill their heads with lies

And say, “Boys do your best”

The machine gun nest they would attack

And most would not come back

 

I now walk the silent ground

Once filled with explosions and horrid sound

White crosses abound

Everywhere to be found

Lined neatly and precise row by row

Oh the secrets they know

 

I too was once young in age

My deeds recorded on eternal page

Yes I too was once the fool

The devil’s tool

 

What is war?

Once this green silent meadow

Was divided by two trenches defining no man’s land

War is Hell and nothing grand

It is humanity’s ugliest blight

And till this day fills me with fright

When I lay on my bed calm, serene and still

Recalling how I prayed for blessings to kill

I prayed for blessings to kill……

Victory

 Victory

 

We shall walk together

Marching as if one

We shall walk together

Until victory is won

 

Down the narrow way

God guide us we pray

Sharing our burden

Until victory is won

 

Holding our cross high

We are willing to die

Give glory to the Son

For the victory won

 

We shall walk together

Love will conquer hate

We shall walk together

Through heaven’s gate

 

We shall walk together

Marching as if one

We shall walk together

Until victory is won

Cry Freedom (To Trudy My Nurse)

Cry Freedom (To Trudy My Nurse)

 

By John Kaniecki

 

Cry freedom, cry and wail

Awesome, awesome is your tale

Steven Biko the former saint

With rainbow colors so you paint

Cry freedom, shout the scream

Never sleep, never doubt the dream

Words they fail

Actions prevail

Cry freedom I shall cry along

Together the better in melodic song

Righteousness, bliss & sweet lover’s kiss

Evil is wrong

CRY FREEDOM CRY!

Live or die, Love is why!

The chorus before us
Jesus

Messiah on the cross

His gain our loss?

Cry freedom cry

NO MORE TO CRUCIFY

Cry freedom cry

Truth tells no lie

Can I Get A Witness?

Can I Get A Witness?

A practical guide to sharing your faith

The great commission is pretty clear, that we are to go into the whole world and make disciples. But exactly how is one to accomplish this? Furthermore what if a person isn’t called to be an evangelist?

“Can I Get A Witness?” explores what God requires from each and every member of the church. By using Biblical scriptures and principles with real-life experience this book empowers those wishing to glorify God by sharing their faith. The church is on the decline and we need to turn the tide and labor for the gospel of Jesus Christ.

"Can I Get A Witness" is informative, practical and entertaining. The book is an easy read with clear teachings.

"What Is Faith If It Is Never Tested"

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report.

I heard of a person who was a Christian. He got very sick to the point of death. On his deathbed he wondered where God was? 

Maybe you have never been faced with this extreme. Perhaps the closest you have come to death is to witness a loved one passing on. However, since this is a mental health blog you probably have some experience with mental illness. Whether as a caregiver or suffering from an ailment. Where then is God in the midst of your hardship?

First of all faith is a gift and it is made better when it is tested. That is to say the we are all works in progress. Think of yourself as an athlete. No matter what the sport, the contestants must undergo training to improve their skills. When a good coach gets to work with a very exceptional and talented individual who shows a lot of promise, the intensity of the training gets harder. So to suffer on  Earth really isn't a sign of God's anger, but perhaps God's favor.

Easy for you to say? There was a time where I thought that God had abandoned me. My life consisted of sitting in the backyard and smoking cigarettes once an hour. I didn't have any grand vision in my pain and suffering, but I desperately clung on to the little hope that I had.

The story of Joseph is an excellent example, as many people know it outside of Christianity. Joseph was betrayed by his brothers and sold into slavery. Yet Joseph didn't give up. Rather in Potiphar's house he made the best of his enslavement. In other words, Joseph became a good slave, something I imagine that was very difficult for him. Being so faithful, Joseph ran the entire household. When Potiphar's wife wanted to have sex with Joseph, he did the right thing and refused. Then on her lie Joseph was thrown into jail.

Talk about going from the pot into the fire. Still in jail Joseph made the best of life. He did not give up on life and he never let go of hope. Joseph became a good prisoner, eventually earning the jailer's trust and favor. Then one day Joseph interpreted two men's dreams. One was to be put to death and the other to be restored as cup bearer of Pharaoh himself. All Joseph asked the cup bearer was to remember him. Sure enough, the interpretations of the dreams came true. Unfortunately for Joseph, he was forgotten.

The story didn't end there. One day Pharaoh himself had a dream. The cup bearer, recalling Joseph, fetched the man from prison to interpret Pharaoh's dream.  Seven years of plenty were coming to the world followed by seven years of severe famine. After Joseph interpreted the dream of Pharaoh, Joseph was put in charge of Egypt to prepare for the upcoming famine.

Now here are the most important aspects of the story. One is that God had a clear and distinct purpose for Joseph. In the end, Joseph saved thousands if not millions of lives. More on subject, it was in the suffering that Joseph learned the skills necessary to meet his ultimate destiny. So I say to you that if you are going through living hell, hold on, because the lessons of today will bless others tomorrow.

I have suffered from bipolar for thirty years. In that time I have found no kinder or giving group of people than the mentally ill. Don't allow the world to define you and look down at you. Look at the present state of the world and see how good all these people who turn up their noses at you are doing. Man is destroying the world. If we took the people in the asylums and put them in power and took the people in power and put them in the asylums, well the world would be better off.

In the worst times the character of a person is being forged for the best times. Embrace your cross because the weight you carry now will one day make you strong.

Read about the testing of my faith in my poetic journey of Polishing The Fragments. What do you do when God shatters your life? You polish the fragments.
